Mark Zuckerberg: I have some thoughts on this. I know you have too. That's why I brought it up. I mean, look, the iPhone is obviously one of the most important inventions ever, probably. You know, Steve Jobs launched it in 2007. I founded Facebook in 2004. So when I was starting Facebook, he was working on the iPhone. So basically, you know, one of the interesting things in the 20 years that I've been running the company is.
Basically, the dominant platform now is the smartphone. it's great for us because we're able to build these tools that everyone can put in their pocket. And about 4 billion people use the various applications we cyprus telegram data develop. I am so grateful that this platform exists. But we were basically not involved in building these phones because, I mean, it was already in development when I was just trying to get the first website I made into a thing. And, well...
On the one hand, this is great because almost everyone in the world now has a cell phone, which has enabled a lot of great things. But on the other hand, like you said, they've used the platform to create a lot of rules that I think are arbitrary, and it feels like they haven't invented anything great in a long time. It feels like Steve Jobs invented the iPhone and now they are just reaping the benefits 20 years later.
